It's a cold crimson night.

Great description but it's not pretty clear what you are describing.

UMmmmmmm well i know what your saying Boss ... your anger and pride and loneliness are this little gnome inside you telling you at the end that you really are alone ... pretty sad ending to be honest but still a good write hun :) Love and Light JayC x x

I loved your description of your inner turmoil, your own eating of self... painful little gnome digging and scratching its way through every moment Nothing wrong with being alone, it is the time of learning one's self... Richard

Hey dude, nice to see you posting poems again =] I didn't like this one so much when I first read it, then I read it again, and again and each time I liked it a bit more and now I really like it. It's a grower. Changes a little each time you read it, which is something I hardly find these days. It seems we have been thinking about the same topic quite a bit but I haven't been able to articulate what I think about it yet. What I do know is I agree with Richard - there's nothing wrong with loneliness, especially if you make use of it as a time to learn about yourself and grow and then you begin to really appreciate and enjoy loneliness. I do hope you don't think negatively of your pride and your internal guide to what is right and what is wrong though. Sorry bro if I overstepped my mark a little bit with deconstructing your thoughts - it's only because I find your writing inspiring and it needed to be said. Peace.
